RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Libbey full-time for more than a year
Pros
The company has accepted that they have made mistakes and is working to figure out it's future. It's a 200 year old start up. The past few years have been a bit of a roller coaster, but it's on the upswing. The people make Libbey one of my favorite places I've worked at in the area. The current CEO is Bill Foley as of Jan 2016.
Cons
The revolving door of the C-Suite has been rough. The technology is incredibly dated. Honestly I have no idea how it's made it this long.
Advice to Management
Old ways won't open new doors. Embrace change.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Libbey full-time
Pros
Culture is improving, slowly. The vision of “Creating Momentum” actually gives some direction finally. Good people in both corporate and plants. Week off at the end of the year. Technology and digital investments are starting to pay off finally.
Cons
Stark difference between corporate and plant culture still. Badly needs innovation. Benefits are great, except for the huge deductibles.
Advice to Management
Need further direction on where Libbey actually wants to be or go in the end. If we get momentum, where.do we actually go with it?

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Libbey full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
Competitive pay and benefits. Nice offices located in the heart of a revitalized downtown Toledo. Reasonably priced, company subsidized parking.
Cons
Poor corporate culture, departmental silos, mostly uncooperative and unfriendly employees, archaic systems, processes and business practices. Horrible union contracts that make efficient operations and providing a high level of service to customers almost impossible.
Advice to Management
You have a list of corporate values. Build the culture around them, actively nurture the culture you want: make the values more than words on the corporate website. Listen to the employees who have seen excellence at the previous companies that they have worked for.

Pros
The pay is good if you stick out the crazy hours. Backed by a union. Job stability. Easy to learn any department.
Cons
Abnormal hours, unprofessional atmosphere in most of the Toledo plant, also being moved to another location without agreeing to it.
Advice to Management
High turnover rate. Very little training.

Pros
You'll get your check on time. There were at least some good people still working for the company before I quit, but I have to imagine that more than a few of them have either retired or left by now.
Cons
Too many to list. The CEO, Board of Directors, and Senior Management will not care about you - unless you're one of their relatives or cronies put into a superfluous position to get paid twice as much as the people doing the real work for the company. CEO, et al. would not hesitate to fire a dozen employees if they thought it will raise their stock price by a dime. They would shut down a plant or an entire department...

Recognize the resource that is your employee base. Treat them like family, not like chattel. Invest in your community. Demand better leadership.
